• Use a supported operating system and architecture, such as macOS (Intel® and Apple silicon) or Linux® (amd64 and s390x).

Procedure

1. Run the following command to download and extract the binary for your operating system and architecture to a temp directory on your local file system:

   mkdir -vp temp/
   OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
   ARCH=$(uname -m | sed -E "s/i686|x86_64/amd64/g")
   oc image extract icr.io/cpopen/ibm-zoscb-encryption-cli:latest --path /bin/${OS}-${ARCH}-zoscb-encrypt:temp/
   

2. Run the following command to globally access the CLI in your terminal:

   OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
   ARCH=$(uname -m | sed -E "s/i686|x86_64/amd64/g")
   chmod +x temp/${OS}-${ARCH}-zoscb-encrypt
   sudo mv temp/${OS}-${ARCH}-zoscb-encrypt /usr/local/bin/zoscb-encrypt
   rm -rf temp
   

3. (Optional) If you're using macOS and a window appears after running the zoscb-encrypt command, complete the following steps:
